The Story of the Match

The Steelmen have been in good form under Stuart Kettlewell but still have work to do to ensure Premiership status for next season, in what is the final fixture before the split.

Saturday’s defeat to Dundee United leaves ‘Well eight points above eleventh but tests don’t come much tougher than Celtic Park.

The hosts haven’t lost at home in the league since January 2021, as they chase down another Scottish Premiership title.

Motherwell have lost twice against Celtic in the league, on both occasions by a single goal.

Dundee United recovered from Kevin van Veen’s first half strike to take all three points in a 2-1 victory over Motherwell. 

Van Veen netted his 23rd goal of the season before Ilmari Niskanen and a Jamie McGrath penalty capped off a second-half comeback.

Dundee United controlled most of the ball in the early stages but it would be the Steelmen who would land the first blow.

Mikael Mandron flicked on Liam Kelly’s long ball forward for Van Veen, who drove forward into space before playing wide for young prodigy Max Johnston. The full-back cut the ball back for the Dutchman who finished at the second time of asking on 23 minutes.

At the start of the second half, Van Veen was inches from making it 2-0 but the linesman flag was raised, before the offside decision was confirmed by a lengthy VAR check.

Dundee United levelled shortly after. Sean Goss wasn’t able to clear his lines, Ian Harkes nicked in to win the ball and play back to Niskanen who finished into the bottom left corner.

It would be 2-1 for the visitors when McGrath converted from the spot nine minutes later after Kelly was adjudged to have fouled Steven Fletcher in the area.

The former Scottish international went down again in the box in stoppage time however this time, Nick Walsh booked the number nine for simulation this time round.

Looking for three wins on the bounce, for the first time since 2021, Motherwell were high on confidence with Dundee United coming to town. 

Kevin van Veen got Motherwell ahead, and with a tight offside call and the Dundee United keeper pulling off a wonderful save, Dundee United worked their back into the game and got themselves a much needed three points.

Despite it going down as a defeat, Kettlewell doesn’t want the result to derail what he has started with the season revival at Fir Park.

Motherwell are in midweek action at Fir Park on Tuesday 18 April as they take on Glasgow Women in SWPL. 

Kick-off is 7:45pm.

Story of the match

Motherwell left it late to grab a point against Spartans on Sunday. Carla Boyce and Kayla Jardine got on the scoresheet as the women of steel made it six games unbeaten.

Glasgow Women come into the match still looking for their first points of the campaign.

Motherwell have won all three matches against Glasgow Women, playing them twice in the league.

The last meeting came in the quarter finals of the Scottish Cup, with the ‘Well winning 4-0.

“We shot ourselves in the foot.

“For me, we now need to make sure this doesn’t derail what we’re trying to do here.”

Dean Cornelius has seen it all this season. With Motherwell struggling to find form before Stuart Kettlewell’s arrival, the young midfielder thinks that it is incredible to even think that the Steelmen could secure a top six spot. 

Also out of contract in the summer, Cornelius is insistent that he is focused on his football and staying in a competitive team, rather than his future for next season.

Manager Stuart Kettlewell says it is remarkable that Motherwell have the outside chance of securing a top six place, considering where they were at when he became manager.

The Motherwell boss discusses player contract negotiations that are ongoing in the background, alongside how Dundee United will present themselves with a difficult challenge for the ‘Well as they are fighting for their lives.

The Story of the Match

Another week, another big game.

Dundee United halted a run of eleven without a win, by defeating Hibs at Tannadice at the weekend. Despite that run of form, United are only three points from safety.

Motherwell continued their fine form with a 3-0 win over Livingston on Saturday. Stuart Kettlewell’s men will be aiming to make it three wins in a row for the first time since August 2021, but it’s another tricky test against a team who are also fighting for safety.

The Steelmen are undefeated against United so far this season, with a 0-0 draw previously at Fir Park.

With a triumphant victory against Hibernian seven days prior, Motherwell had the difficult task of facing Livingston as Stuart Kettlewell looked to make it back-to-back wins for the second time in his tenure. 

A fast paced start seen Kevin van Veen net his 21st goal of the season before he made it a double on 33 minutes with Max Johnston also getting on the scoresheet.

Keeping the clean sheet in the process, Fir Park was rocking come the full time whistle as Motherwell continue to keep the fans and supporters with a smile on their face.

The manager was pleased to see the goals scored, with the moves coming from the training ground as the Steelmen close the gap to 7th place to just three points.

“I keep speaking to the players about being together.

“We feel that the supporters are with us on that and it’s up to the players to make sure that feel good factor remains.”
